HAIR-COMB.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 9, 1907.

Application filed February 2'7, 1906. Serial No. 303,186.

My invention relates to hair dressing. combs; and its primary object is to provide a comb of this character with a pin by means of which the comb can be secured in applied position and between which and the comb a gathered quantity of hair can be clamped.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, where- 111 Figure 1 is a perspective view of a comb constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof; and Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are sectional views illustrating modified means adapted to secure the pin to the comb.

Referring to the drawings by referencenumerals, 1O designates a comb, which may be of the usual or any approved construction. A catch 12 is secured to one end of the comb, while a connecting member 13 is movably secured to the other end thereof. The connecting member 13 is provided with eyes 14, through the medium of one of which and a perforation 11 in the comb said connecting member is secured in applied position. A pin 15 is movably secured to the connecting member 13 through the medium of the other eye 14, the free end of said pin being adapted to be moved into engagement with the catch 12.

The manner in which my im roved comb may be used may be stated to e as follows: After the initial dressing of the hair the pin 15 is inserted into the hair and the comb revolved upon the pin as an axis until the eX- tremities of the teeth thereof assume an upwardly-disposed position. With the comb in this position the same may be directed into the hair and moved in the direction of the pin 15, after which the comb is moved upon the pin to direct the free end thereof into the catch 12. It should be thus apparent that the pin secures the comb in applied position and that a gathered quantity of hair may be clamped between the comb and the pin.

I11 Figs. 3, at, and 5 of the drawings I have illustrated modified forms of the connecting member. In Fig. 3 the connected member (designated by the numeral 16) is provided with heads, through the medium of which the same is secured to the comb-and the pin secured thereto. In Fig. 4 the connecting member (designated 17) is provided with a head 18 and with an eye 19, the connecting member being secured to the comb through the medium of the head, while the pin 15 is secured to the connecting member through the medium of the eye. In Fig. 5 I have illustrated the connecting member in the form of a link.

It should be apparent from the above description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, that as the connecting member is movably secured to the comb and the pin movably secured to the connecting member the comb may have imparted thereto any movement with relation to the pin which is necessary to adapt the comb for application when dressing the hair in various sty es.

Having fully described and illustrated my invention, what I claim is In a hair-dressing comb, the combination with a comb, of a catch secured to the comb near one of its ends, a connecting member movably secured to the comb near its other end, and a pin movably secured to the 0011- necting member.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
